<h2>Welcome!</h2>

<p>Earth Games Creator is here to help you learn about programming and
to help you make whole new worlds of games!</p>

<p>To the right is the <strong>earth window</strong>, a
three-dimensional (3D) visualization of our world.  If you haven't
used it before, you might be surprised to find out how much is in
there.</p>

<p>To the right and below the earth window is the <strong>code
window</strong>.  This is where you can write <a
href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript">JavaScript</a> code
that will change what happens in the earth window.</p>

<p>As you can see, there's already some code there.  To make the code
run, press the <strong>Go!</strong> button.  In English, the code
there tells the earth window to show the view controls when the game
starts.  Writing code like this is how computers are programmed.</p>

<p>Once you have the view controls showing, see if you can use them to
find where you live.</p>

<p>Once you're ready, click on the "Next" link below and you'll be led
through lessons that will help you learn to program an Earth Game!</p>
